     A PROVINCIAL MUSEUM FOR P.E.l. ? 
     
    
   
   
    
     Many of you will undoubtedly have heard the recent rumors and discussions 
     
     circulating in the province regarding the proposal to establish a provincial 
     
     museum of man and nature in Prince Edward Island. Such an institution would be 
     
     of immense benefit. Not only would it promote more scientific investigation 
     
     into the natural and cultural history of P.E.I. but it would have tremendous 
     
     educational value for Islanders and tourists alike. 
     
    

    
     The Natural History Society fully endorses the proposals to establish a 
     
     provincial museum, and urges members to write to the Minister of Community Affairs, 
     
     the Hon. Horace Carver (Box.2000, Charlottetown, P.E.I.)expressing support for 
     
     the idea. It is only through a strong show of support that the minister will 
     
     become convinced that Islanders are fully behind this effort. If you do not have 
     
     time to write, clip and mail the coupon below. Also urge your friends and 
     
     relatives to do likewise.

     Box 2000, Charlottetown, P.E.I. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Prince Edward Island would benefit greatly from the establishment of a 
     
     * museum of man and nature. I urge you most strongly to make every effort to * 
     
     see that one becomes established in this province soon.
